I ran my first marathon as a teenager in 1981 with my Dad (The Coronado Marathon). Since then I've run St, George (3x) Utah Valley (3x) Ogden (1 full, 2 halves) Park City (1 x) Boston Marathon (1x) Washington DC (1x) Moab Half Marathon (6x) ,Ye Old Freedom Festival 5 & 10K (a million x) and many others.
But I'm all done with that now. I'm officially a jogger.
Ran down a dirt road that crossed over South Dakota into Iowa with my girl. It was so hot, she was not used to the heat and humidity. It made a miserable run for her. I on the other hand was elated running through corn fields and country roads. I love vacation running.
Ran around old Nauvoo. It feels like a miniture Salt Lake City. Everyone walking around the City in the early morning feels just like it does in Utah. Ran and walked the Trail of Hope. It's been a very enlightening journey here. As luck would have it, we got to see the pagent last night after Carthidge.
Got to the farm in Hartsville after the epic cross country trip. Ran my usual track around the 100 acres, and over into the country roads lined with tobacco, soybeans, and cotton. It is HOT here. I leave for RI this afternoon for the weekend.
